I was afraid of that answer because I think one can forget it asking (or 
do you have some good contacts to Microsoft?).

At 
http://www.petri.co.il/how-to-disable-smb-2-on-windows-vista-or-server-2008.htm
I found:
1.) Disabling SMB2 (but not SMB1)
2.) Here's how SMB is used when related to SMB versions: When a Windows 
Server 2008/Vista "client" connects to a Windows 2000/XP/2003 "server", 
SMB 1.0 is used. Maybe \\server\share indicates/implies "old" 2000/XP/2003 
style.

Thnx.

Ciao,
Gerhard
